The difference between cleaning, sanitising and disinfecting

The health of aged-care residents is improved when there are systems in place which reduce the likelihood of illness and infection. The following is a breakdown of the cleaning methods used to keep any enclosed environment hygienic.

Cleaning

This component is the first step in the process. You cannot effectively disinfect or sanitize if dirt is in the way. Our professional cleaners wash with detergent and water to remove visible dirt and debris from objects or surfaces. Everything is scrubbed, cleaned, and rinsed to eliminate cross-contamination.

Sanitising

Particular objects require covering with a sanitizing solution such as bleach or sanitizer, followed by a period of allowing the surface or object to air dry. Dishes, food contact surfaces, medical equipment, and more must be sanitized after cleaning.

Disinfecting

Our cleaning professionals cover the cleaned area with a disinfecting solution such as bleach or ammonia. Disinfectant works best when allowed to sit for a short period. Our process is to disinfect anyplace bodily fluids have touched.

How to reduce the likelihood of spreading infections in aged care

When it comes to the health and well-being of aged-care residence, the most critical aspect is a clean environment. The following are a set of fundamentals that are critical to the health of everyone involved.

Changing linen and personal items
Part of the fight against bacteria is to maintain clean living areas after a person has been sick. If a resident falls ill, the immediate action is to change clothes, bedsheets, and towels. This action must be taken because bacteria can live on personal items, thereby increasing the likelihood of a second outbreak. Additional measures such as changing toothbrushes will also reduce the chances of the illness returning.

Handwashing
Proper handwashing technique plays the most significant role in stopping the spread of germs causing a widespread viral outbreak amongst residents and staff. Residents and staff need wash bays and training in handwashing techniques to protect their aged-care facility against a viral outbreak.

Cleaning objects and surfaces
When maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, there must be regular cleaning and sanitizing of high-touch surfaces. These areas including kitchens, loungerooms, dining rooms and bathrooms. It’s also relevant to consistently clean areas such as kitchen counters, bathroom sinks, and toilets to remove harmful bacteria. Cleaning should be done on a daily or weekly basis depending on the surface.
